little company of State Rangers, OF

Conner family, and one ranger named
Rogers, we're instantly killed, and
Captain Scott and another of his men
were badly, if not fatally wounded.
One of the Conner boys escaped, but
the rangers are in pursuit. The Con-

from ambush upon the rangers, who
were hunting timber thieves. A
doctor of this city has been sent for
by the rangers to attend the wounded.

In n Starving Condition.
GALVESTON, Texas, April "A spe-
cial to the News, from Austin, says:
State Senator Woodward, of Calhoun
county, received a statement from At
ascosa county, sworn to by four re-
sponsible citizens, and endorsed by
the County Judge, Sheriff and County
Clerk, giving the names of 10 fanatics
in that county, of whom the atlantis
declare are in a condition of starva-
ton, occasioned by drouth. The num-
Der of persons in each family is stated,
showing the total number to be LOG
persons. The paper states that these
families are unable to procure suffi-
Gent food, and are now resorting in
some cases to eating the cas OF
cattle which have died from starva-
ton. The signers Of the statement
appeal for aid from the Legislature,
but as nothing more can be expected
from that source, it is left for the gen.
erous and more fortunate of other
counties ~ rnn6ar crrah old oo fhnx,
can. The statement represents a de-
plorable state of affairs, and concludes
by saying that whateveri is done should
be done at once.
A Race TO Come OF.
New YORK, April 2.-Oliver Iselin
has arranged a match for his New
York Titania, which will be launched
in May, and which was designed to
defend the American cup in case the
size OF the Thistle should place her in
the second class. The Titania's rival
will be Archibald Rogers cutter
Bedouin. The prize for which they
will contend is of a novel description.
In arranging for the race Mr.. Rogers
remarked that he had already a lot of
cups, and intimated that this time he
would like something new to add to
his collection. GLOW would a silver
pint pot full of gold dollars answer for
the stakes" asked Iselin. The pro-
posal was promptly accepted. The
race will be twenty miles to windward
outside of Sandy Hook, and will prob
ably take place late in June. The ex-
act date has not yet been fixed upon.

Secretary Mannfns's Health.
WASHINGTON, April "A gentle
man in this city, who has had spe-
cial reason to interest himself in the
condition OF Secretary Manning's
health, has received personal advices
from England, confirming the worst
reports yet published. His informant
asserts that ex~-Secretary was not only
unimproved by his voyarge, but is
decidedly worse to-day than he was
before he sailed; worse even than
when he landed in England. His
friends have little hope of his recov-
cry.
